I returned to modelling after a break of many years. Most of my recent efforts have been spent in developing new (and old!) skills and techniques for just about everything !!! Models – mainly aircraft but some armour and ships. Since coming back to modelling, projects have been mainly nostalgic a mix of Monogram Revell and Airfix – all scales, but gradually moving to more modern kits.

This was my second kit completed just over a year ago. Having just purchased an airbrush, I needed something to practice on, and this was it - the cheapest kit I could find. The kit itself is pretty dated now but goes together well enough - with[...]
